"So, what she looks like now is a sign of backlash from power?"

Alva nodded and said, "The backlash of power is not painful, it happens unknowingly. Only at the moment of death will you suffer from pain."

Rick's face changed slightly, and he asked quickly: "Do you know the way to guide you?"

Alva and others shook their heads. This was beyond Rick's expectations.

Qinglu comforted: "Young Master, even if we know the method of guidance, it is too late now. The power has backfired, and guidance has no effect."

Rick smiled helplessly. He didn't expect the result to be like this, and his expression immediately seemed quite depressed. At this moment, Caifeng suddenly said: "Young Master, there is a way to save her."

"What method?" Rick looked excited.

"Try to force out the power inside her."

"That won't work." Qinglu was the first to object, "She would definitely not be able to withstand that kind of pain, not to mention that this method itself is very dangerous and not thorough. That kind of power is related to her bloodline. If the bloodline has not changed for a day, this power will always exist." Kris and Alva nodded in agreement. They had considered this method just now, but they both felt it would not work. Caifeng seemed to want to say something, but when she saw everyone unanimously opposed it, she still took it back if she slipped to her mouth.

Without getting the expected answer, Rick was a little listless and was no longer interested in watching the girl's training. He turned around and walked straight out of the martial arts training ground. As he walked, he unknowingly came to the place where Lu Hanxue lived.

This is a separate wooden house surrounded by a fence, with flowers and plants planted in it. Rick once heard Falley say that this was originally the place where Gus' mother lives, because the old man likes quietness. Later, when she passed away, it was always empty. Rick stood outside the fence and saw Lu Hanxue sitting in a cluster of flowers and plants from afar, looking at the thick wind chime hanging on the corners of the eaves of the wooden roof without moving. He didn't walk in. He just stood outside and looked along Lu Hanxue's gaze. Because there was no wind, the wind chime did not shake at all, so naturally he could not make the crisp ringtone.

Rick looked outside for a long time, and Lu Hanxue sat inside for a long time, without disturbing each other. Just as they were immersed in this delicate atmosphere, a bird cry like a phoenix cries suddenly came from the sky. Rick woke up in shock, looked at the fence with attachment, and turned away. Lu Hanxue's body also moved at this moment. Just as Rick disappeared at a turn, her index finger lightly buckled and popped up. The wind chime made a crisp "ding" sound, breaking the ethereality of the upper and lower spaces.

The phoenix-like bird scream was made by the Blood Phoenix. Rick hadn't seen it for many days. This guy now walked to Rick with a look of complacent and seeking credit, and "gugu" screamed. Rick didn't know what he was saying, and he didn't want to know. No matter what, he rushed forward. He caught this guy and beat him up, fully exerting his usual "brutal" nature. Although the Blood Phoenix was ready, he probably didn't expect Rick to take action so quickly and could not fly for a while. He could only spread his legs and run around the garden desperately. In an instant

The whole garden was full of chaos. The nearby servants were causing the servants to come and checked. They soon found that the master was fighting with a colorful bird. They were eager to protect the master and immediately rushed forward and prepared to beat the big bird. The Blood Phoenix is ​​not an ordinary bird. Of course, it is not so easy to be bullied. As soon as several guards rushed up, they were slapped by their big wings. The guards tried their best to resist. But they still couldn't resist the force on the Blood Phoenix's wings and were blown away all of a long time. Fortunately, the Blood Phoenix did not intend to hurt people, otherwise the guards would have to be injured.

Rick hurriedly stopped the servants and guards who were still trying to rush up and told them that the Blood Phoenix was a bird he raised. The servants and guards left in confusion, but they secretly guessed when the master had raised such a ferocious bird. The Blood Phoenix was proud and turned around Rick with his head held high and his chest several times, as if saying: I am the boss's follower, you must be more respectful to me!

Rick scolded Xuehuang a few more words again, but this time he used his mouth and did not take action. Xuehuang screamed twice in aggrievedly, as if he was calling for justice, and Rick didn't care. Just as Ao Ling'er came over, Rick handed the Xuehuang to her and ordered Xuehuang to listen to her words and not allow him to run around anymore, otherwise he would pull out his hair. Xuehuang flapped his wings and screamed twice in protest. Rick said without looking at it: "Protest is invalid! If you shout again, pull out your hair." Xuehuang seemed to understand his words, and obediently stopped shouting, but his eyes were extremely aggrieved.

After relocating the Blood Phoenix, Rick came to the place where Ada was detained by himself in the backyard.

Standing outside the room, Rick deliberately made heavy footsteps. Ada quickly noticed his arrival and stood at the window and looked at him coldly.

Rick said something that had nothing to do with him, "I plan to change you."

"It feels so comfortable for me to live?" Ada said lightly.

"It can be said that, or from another perspective, we can do comparison transactions."

“What deal?”

"I let you go out and allow you to move freely and even restore your martial arts. But there is a condition - in the next six months, you must stay in the Duke's Mansion and not escape. After half a year, you can leave freely."

"Will you be so good?"

"You can choose to believe me or not, but I have to remind you that if I hadn't saved you, you probably wouldn't even have the right to choose."

"What do you mean?"

"You can think for yourself that at Qingcheng Tianxiang Inn, those who attack the inn at night will probably not only save you. A person who can keep the secret is better than a dead person."

Ada's face changed drastically. It was not that she had not thought about this, but she had been unwilling to think about it.

Rick said this, turned around and left, and said as he walked, "Think about it, I will let you out, remember what you promised me."

Ada seemed to want to stop him, but her mouth opened but no sound was made. She felt that her belief and will were shaken. Perhaps as Rick said, she was already a character in Oturu's heart that needed to be eliminated. Unconsciously, she began to believe Rick's words.

Rick walked out of the backyard and passed by a single yard. Suddenly he heard a shout from inside, and hurried over. After a closer look, it turned out that the little girl Emma was practicing fire magic. Alice stood aside and kept guiding her how to communicate with magic elements with spirit, but she strictly ordered her not to use spells and only used spirit to emit magic. Emma's face turned red, but she still couldn't even send out a basic fireball. Rick looked at her with pity. Since he was rescued by him, she has been accompanying him around without any complaints. Moreover, the reason for her serious practice of magic is "to protect Brother Rick", which made Rick particularly moved.

Rick did not disturb Emma, ​​but walked to Alice and said, "It's too difficult to practice magic like this. How could Xiaozhi be so young?"

"Do you know why there are very few people who can use magic without chanting spells? Because they abandoned the tedious spells from the beginning. The use of magic taught by formal education is popular, for the sake of people's livelihood, not for combat. The magic that is truly used for combat must focus on actual combat. Although it is very difficult to practice spell-free magic, it depends on talent and slow progress, but it has obvious advantages. Whether it is individual combat or group combat, it can kill enemies at the fastest speed, while saving the life of the magician."

Rick said helplessly: "I can't tell you, but Xiaozhi doesn't seem to be able to use this spell-free magic."

Alice smiled and said, "It will be used. Her entry is already amazing. I can feel that when she uses spellless magic, although the magic cannot be emitted, the magic elements are quickly gathering around her. She performed better than when I was studying back then." As soon as she said this, the little girl Emma suddenly shouted happily: "Sister Alice, I can use magic, look! Fireball! Fireball!"

Rick and Alice looked back and said, indeed, there was a fireball as big as a teacup on Emma's little hand, which was as big as a teacup, with purple in red. Rick could feel the amazing heat of the fireball at a distance. Alice looked at the fireball carefully and then asked Emma to throw the fireball into the open space. The fireball drew an arc in the air and landed on the ground, immediately sank into the soil like a mud cow entering the sea, as if it was useless. When they walked over, they found that the soil was one foot in diameter, the soil showed signs of liquefaction. Alice looked at the soil carefully, and the eyes flashed with a very joyful light. She patted Emma's red face and exclaimed: "Xiaozhi, you are amazing. Although the fireball you emitted was small, it is very powerful."

Emma's little face turned redder: "Really?"

Rick stood up and said, "Really, even Brother Rick has to admire you."

Emma immediately smiled and went to practice other magic without saying a word. Rick looked at her excited appearance and asked Alice why this happened.

Alice shook her head and sighed: "Maybe it's talent, or her spirit is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the fireballs emitted will be red and purple, and the temperature is so high."

Rick thought about it and felt that it was very likely. He still needed to see Qin Xin, so he talked with Alice for a while before turning around to the place where Qin Xin lived - Jiang Zhuxuan. Qin Xin was five months pregnant. Although she spent two months on the ice bed, the fetus had not grown up, and in fact she was only three months pregnant. However, since Old Hero had used medicine to remove the cold poison in the placenta for her, she had caused serious harm to Xi, so she didn't step out of Jiang Zhuxuan easily, and only let Falli and a few maids accompany her. The matters in the mansion were left to Rick. Of course, Rick didn't know how to deal with the internal affairs, so he handed over those things to Chris, Alva and Qinglu. They rarely went out recently, so they actually became the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion.
